CPU-Z pics: A-Data vs Corsair mem in my rig: pls advise
When I bought my rig, the builder had put the wrong memory in it. They read the build sheet as "Corsair or Major Brand" and "upgraded" me to A-Data Gaming Series. The thing is, I had ordered Corsair Dominator. They were OOS of the Dom when I picked it up, so they offered to refund the upgrade fee and keep the A-Data, or ship the Dom to me when it was restocked. I went with the latter and have been running off the A-Data for over a month. I received the Dom a few weeks ago, but did not have the chance to pop it into my rig until today. I ran CPU-Z and now I am wondering if the Dom specs are truly better that the A-Data or not (I am not that well-versed in memory ratings and such). I think I would still have the option of shipping the Dom back and keeping the A-Data, but I want to keep whatever is best. Please advise.

From the Mem tabs, the Dom looks better than the A-Data, but to me the SPD tabs make it look as if the A-Data is better than the Dom. Maybe I am just reading this wrong. I dunno. I be . Any explanations will be greatly appreciated. TIA!
BTW, if there is a better util to run to rate my mem, please let me know and I can do that. It will not be a problem to pop the A-Data back in and get a reading.
